The release date estimate for Hoppers 2 is a big talking subject among fans of the first one. The new Pixar animated film has struck the right chord among fans of the genre and the studio. Considering how well Hoppers is received, many fans already seem to be looking forward to a sequel. While the studio has often returned with follow-ups to commercially popular films, does it have any plans for making Hoppers 2?
Without further ado, here’s what we know so far about the potential Hoppers sequel.
What is the Hoppers 2’s release date estimate?
The release date estimate for Hoppers 2 is sometime between 2029 and 2030. This is based on how long it would take the studio to produce it. Historically, Pixar has never released two films from the same franchise back-to-back. So, it could be even longer before Hoppers 2 can materialize.
Released on March 6, 2026, Hoppers opened to excellent reviews. Both audience and critics have scored it over 90% on Rotten Tomatoes. While it is reasonable to expect that Pixar will make a follow-up based on the reception, the decision is ultimately the studio’s.
However, if the studio greenlights Hoppers 2, based on the usual production time for animated projects, it could arrive by 2029 at the earliest.
Hoppers 2 news and updates
Currently, neither Pixar nor Disney has made any official announcement about a Hoppers sequel. Typically, the studio considers the final theatrical performance before making any decisions about a sequel.
According to Variety, Hoppers had already earned $88 million globally in the first two days of its release. If the trend continues, the numbers are expected to grow significantly in the coming days. If Hoppers ultimaltely becomes a profitable movie, it is likely that the studio will make a second one. It was made on a reported budget of $150 million, so the film still has a long way to go.
The voice cast of Hoppers 2 could include Piper Curda, Jon Hamm, Sam Richardson, Bobby Moynihan, Dave Franco, Eduardo Franco, Meryl Streep, and Kathy Najimy, among others.
